International Efforts

Millions of people around the world require anticoagulant therapies for the prevention and treatment of thrombosis, yet these essential agents are also a leading cause of preventable drug-related harm due to a lack of clinician education, evidence-based clinical tools, and adequate care delivery systems.

To better equip front-line clinicians and to advance the adoption of the Anticoagulation Stewardship model, the Anticoagulation Forum has established an international advisory council of key opinion leaders from around the world who provide global perspectives and support ACF initiatives to advance the quality and safety of thrombosis-related care.

Tell us how the Anticoagulation Stewardship model is advancing in your country by completing this brief survey, hosted by University of Illinois Chicago.
